Anybody with their 1M in Northern VA

I have been a big fan of the 1M since day one that I saw the speculations and I finally have an allocation assigned, but have to wait a couple of months before driving mine. I have seen the car in DC auto show, but didn't get a chance to sit in it or hear it inside or ride in it.

If someone in this area or passing by though their way from PCD would be willing to show me the car (I don't need to drive it) just to look and get a feel of it, I would greatly appreciate it. In other words, I would love someone to show off their car to me

Thanks guys, this board has been very helpful in my research.

I will be driving back through the area on my way home from PCD. I'm stopping in MoCo, MD if you want to see it/ go for a ride.

Definitely. Please let me know when you will be driving by and where I can meet you so I can stick it in my schedule. I really appreciate it.

Congrats on the car, what color did you get? Did you get to drive/see the car before you see yours?

I had it through david (onlineeurocars) in February but that didn't go through so I gave up, then I started looking last week and emailed and contacted a lot of dealers and got in one from NJ (they had two and I got the second one so no more there), but I do know another dealer that had one then, but might be gone by now. Just start contacting dealers even ones far from you, there are still allocations, you just have to look to find them.

Mine is Valencia Orange, and I ordered it without seeing one in the flesh and have never driven one. Since I placed the order though I did see two VOs in person, still haven't seen an AW or BSM in person.

When are you scheduled for PCD, that must be hard to wait for.

Second week of July, and not really. My car is already in the US and is just sitting around waiting for PCD. I have plenty of other things going on that take my mind off of it.

Hey everyone - just re-checking if anyone on the forums has taken delivery of a Valencia Orange 1M around the DC area or if anyone knows when a DC area dealer will be receiving a VO 1M?

I can't wait until mid-July when carchrism5 will be swinging by to show off his ride

I've already seen white (@ BMW of Sterling) and black (thanks l888apex!) in person ... now I need to see if VO trumps them both!
